'useful Improvements in Lifting Magnets,

of which the following is a full, clear. con; cise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification.

This invention relates to lifting magnets. 'One of the objects of the invention is to provide a lifting magnet which will readily withstand the shocks and strains to which it is subjected.

Another object is to provide a lifting magnet which will have a large lifting power for its size and weight.

-Another object is to provide a lifting magnet in which the energizing winding is thoroughly protected.

Another object is to provide an efficient magnet which will stand severe service and not require constant. repair.

Another object. is to provide a lifting magnet which will cause its load to be concentrated as it is released.

Various other objects and advantages will hereinafter appear.

1 The accompanying drawings illustrate an embodiment of the invention, and in said drawings:

' Manner pole view showing the magnet liftin a l-ar e plate and having an adapter applied to t e inner pole to eliminate the air gap between the inner pole and he plate. i The magnet has a cast steel frame 11 provided with a central or inner pole piece 12, and an outer pole iece 13. Between the outer and inner p0 e pieces-is an annular channel or recess 14; in which is located the energizing winding 15.

The outer periphery of the frame is provided with axial corrugations 16 which merge into radial corrugations 17, on the top of the frame. crease the radiating surface of t e .magnet. The magnet frame is further provided with a central opening or aperture 18 through which air may circulate to assist in cooling the magnet, and the walls'of this opening serve to increase the radiating surface.

' Eye-bolts 19 are preferably threaded into the top of the frameand chains 20 are attached to these eye-bolts for suspending the magnet. 1

Over the annular recess 14 is placed a non-magnetic circular cover plate or ring 21, which covers supports, and protects the This cover plate is provided at its oute wardly extending flange 22, and radial ribs 23 extend across the lower face of the cover plate to strengthen it.

The inner'pole piece 12 carries a ma netic pole shoe 24: which is held in place by means of bolts 25, threaded into the inner pole piece. This pole shoe is provided with a central opening 26, which communicates with a central openingin the magnet frame. The outer pole piece 13 is provided with a magnetic pole shoe 27, which is in the form of a ring, and is held in place by means of through-bolts 28. The heads of the bolts set on a flange formed on the pole piece 13 and are arranged'in the indentations between the corrugatlons 16, so as to be protected from injury. The nuts of the bolts are set in notches formed in the pole shoe 27 and are thus protected from injury, The cover plate 21 is held in place by means of the inner pole shoe 24 and the outer pole shoe 27, the

shoe beingformed with a shoulder-gin its outer periphery upon which the inner periphery of the cover plate rests, and

The flange 22 thereby prevents lateral movement of the pole shoe 27. The lateral-support thus provided relieves. the shearing strain on the bolts 28 when-the magnet is in use. It also aids 1n making the magnet a solid,'compact structure. j

The outer pole shoe 27 is made thick and rugged to withstand the shocks and strainsto which it is subjected. It projects downwardly sufiici'ently to ordinarily engage the materlalto be lifted before any other part of the magnet. It also extends downwardly a sufiicient distance to protect the'winding:

The outer pole piece 13 and its pole shoe 27 form an outerpole having its polar face atthe bottom of the outer ,shoe. The inner pole piece 12 and its pole. shoe 24 form an inner ole having its polar face at the botf the inner shoe. I

poles will have a low reluctance and the magnetic 'flux may readily pass between the pole pieces andthe pole shoes. 7

The poles are of-opposite polarity, and the flux created by the Winding passes from the frame and out through one pole, then across the space between the through the other pole.

poles and back The. attraction produced by thei flux is toward the polar faces and not the interveningspace between the poles. In conse- I ing from damage and the'plate from wear in engagement therewlith,;the entirej load be- 'ingjpenetrated itaattracted to the magn The pole 'shoes are rugged and strong so 5s "asto wahs the w Shocks and Warquence, when the material is attracted, it-is pulled toward the polar faces.

The poles project sufliciently below the winding and cover plate to protect the windwhen the, material is attracted, and only occasionally will 1 any material engage the cover plate.

If pig iron is being lifted some pigs will bridge the poles, being attracted at one end to the outer pole and at-the'other end to the inner pole, and others will simply hang down from the. poles and the pigs directly by the magnetic flux to keep occurring inservice, partlcularly in lifting rough material', such as pig ironandscrap.

" wear} am am acts like a guard to ward placed upon the other,

and similarly the When the magnet is employed to lift rough material the inner pole doesnot project ordinarily as low as the outer pole but has its polar facereceded'so as to make the magnet face somewhat concave. This struc- .ture enables the outer' pole to come more readily in contact with the material and at-. tract the same thereto. Where the polar faces are in the same plane, the inner pole is liableto engagethe material first and thus keep the outer pole so far from engagement therewith as to lessen the material it will attract.

The energizingcoil or winding is located;

in the annular space'or channel between the inner pole and is surrounded by the outer. pole.

The windlng is composed of sections, one four sections being inner and outer poles. It surrounds the a shown. Each section of the winding comprises a strip of copper 30 wound flatwise in the form of a spiral and having a strip of asbestos or'other insulating material '31 wound therewith so as to insulate the turns from each other.

The sections are preferably wound upon a metallic tube'32, which is surrounded by a mica or other insulating covering 33. The tube 32 fits over the inner pole piece 12 of the magnet: The

ad acent sections of the winding are wound in different directionsso that the same will produce like polarity. For instance, the

first section is ,wound clockwise and the next section counter clockwise, and so on alternately in reverse direction. The outer ends 34 of the top and bottom sections form the terminals of the winding. Insulating disks 35 are placed above and below thew1nding and betweenits several sections. The inner ends of the top and bottom sections are connected to the-inner ends of the adjacent sections, and the outside ends of the two inter-' mediate sections are connected to each other.

The manner 'ofconnecting two sections of the winding is illustrated in Fig. VII, which 1s a perspective view looking at the inside of the top section and its adjacent intermediate section. The inner end of each section is folded to"extend at an angle and thus the inner ends of the two sectionsare over lapped, these overlapping ends being joined by a rivet orin any other suitable way.

The outer ends of the two intermediate secgles to extend upwardly and are. then bent- D Q the t p f he Wind ng nd attached to each section, the inner end of the coil is prefrun once around so 7 and bottomv sections arefolded at right anterminal bolts 36. Insulating pieces 37 arepreferably placed between the top disk 35 and the bent-over portions of the-ends 34.

.1 preferably place bands 38 around the outside of the winding the ends of which bands are drawn together by bolts 39 to firmly bind the bands around the winding. I preferably place one band around each of the top and bottom sections between the insulating disks and a single band around the two intermediate sections. These bands are insulated from the sections by some suitable material.

p or other suitable material which will readily conduct heat from the winding to the mag bear upon blocks of asbestos- The winding is firmly held in place by means of bolts 40' threaded through the outer pole piece and preferably equally spaced around .the Winding).0 These bolts ard 41, which bear upon the outside of the winding, these blocks being set in notches 42 in the insulat ing disk 35. A space is left between'the energizing winding and the outer pole in or- .der that the portions of the winding between the spacing blocks 41 may spread outwardly ,when the winding expands. The space between the winding and the walls of the annular recess may be filled with sand net frame from whichit will be dissipated.

V The top of the annular recess 14 is-provided with an indentation 43 to receive the bent-over portion of the terminal ends 34 of the winding. The terminal bolts extend upwardly through the magnet frame and are fastened to binding posts 44, which rest.upon an insulating block'45 of the magnet frame.

laced upon the top he bolts 36 are insulated from the frame by insulating tubes 46. These bolts are preferably attached to the binding posts 44 by means of nuts 47. The insulating block 45 is preferably attached to the magnet frame by means of bolts 48. Over the binding posts 44 extends a housing 49 which is secured to the to of the magnet frame by means of bolts 50. The top of the housing'is provided with water proof bushings 51, through which run the supply wires 52 from which power is taken to energize the Winding. These wires are connected to the binding posts 44.

The energizing winding composed of sections,,each comprising a flat strip in the form of a spiral coil, gives a greater numher of ampere turns. for a given voltage and a winding of a given diameter and cross sectional area thanv can be obtained under the same conditions with insulated circular wires. v

The inner polar face is of lessarea than the outer polar face so that the density of the magnetic flux-will be greater at the in ner pole than at the outer pole. Accordingly the inner pole is stronger than the outer pole. The inner polar face is receded orset of the hopper.

back of the plane in whichthe outer polar face is located, so that the-face of the magnet is what may be termed concave. These features make the magnet especially adapted to lift loose material from a pile, such as pig iron and other material of less length than the diameter of the magnet.

-Among the advantages and results which this magnet obtains over prior magnets, is that it has greater efficiency and a higher lifting capacity for a given weight and size. It has greater strength and will withstand more s ocks, blows, and strains. It

will give longer continuous service, and require less repair. Its wmdmg 1s thoroughly protected and is less liable to damage. v

I Fig. 8 shows the magnet lifting pig-iron. A number of pigs bridge the inner andouter poles and complete the magnetic circuit.

magnet. j The inner pole is strong enough to hold a number of pigs which hang down. It is found in practice that with the inner pole receded and of greater strength than be firmly held, and further by the fact that the inner pole willhold a number of pieces alone. In other words the load is concen trated toward the center. If the inner pole were not receded the chances are that it would directly engage the pile ofmaterial and prevent the outer pole from coming sufficiently close to' the material, to attract as many pieces. Moreover the outer pole would notbe sufficiently strong to draw. up the pieces attracted by the inner pole so that these pieces would bridge the two poles and be firmly held. Hence the fact that my magnet is especially adaptcdfor lifting pigiron and other loose material.

My magnet possesses another advantage in handling loose material, and this'advantage appears when the material is dropped from the magnet. Whenthe material is released from the magnet the pieces fall inwardly toward each other because the outer pole, which is-weaker than the inner pole,

will release the pieces first, and they will therefore swing inwardly. Accordingly if the .load is delivered to the ground it will be deposited in a compact pile, or if it is deliv- These pigs are thereby firmly held to the I and cause them to bridge the two poles and ered to a hopper it will not fly over the edges Where the magnet is'used' to lift steel gots, blooms, slabs or other material of greater length thanits diameter, it is preferable that the inner polar face and the outer polar face should be in the same plane, ,so i

that there will not be an air gap between the inner pole and the load.

In Fig. 9 I have diagrammatically illustrated the magnet lifting a slab. In order to eliminate the air gap between the inner pole shoe.
